3 teens charged with murder of 21-year-old in November Druid Hills shooting, police say
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police arrested a 14-year-old and two 16-year-olds for the November shooting death of a 21-year-old.
The 14-year-old is charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, the department said in a news release last Wednesday. Both 16-year-olds face charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and murder. One has also been charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon.
It is unclear if the teens are boys or girls. CMPD says it’s not releasing that information at this time. All have been transported to a juvenile detention center to await a hearing, police officials said.
The three are accused of shooting and killing Quantarrius Sturdivant, who was found dead just after 12:30 p.m. Nov. 29 in the 2300 block of Rachel Street in Charlotte’s Druid Hills neighborhood.
In November, police responded to the area after receiving 911 calls about a shooting. They found Sturdivant suffering from a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to CMPD. Further details weren’t released.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a Homicide Unit detective. The public can also leave information anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or http://charlottecrimestoppers.com/.
